Residents of Cowichan County, Canada got together to last month to map what they perceived to be important assets of their community. Such things as historic landmarks, cycling trails, and even environmental sites that are being neglected were mapped. The event allowed the citizens of Cowichan County to learn more about their environment and where they live, where their food comes from, and where their children and their children’s children may grow up. The event turned into more of a social gathering rather than a social experiment which helped increase the number of residents that came to the event.
